BACP/USL introduce a lower cost “penthouse” digital soundtrack reader entirely compatible with the Dolby DA20, CP500 and CP650 processors. It offers a number of advancements that include longer LED life and a lower basic error rate. Its performance is equal to the Dolby Cat. No. 702 and is superior to all existing basement-style digital readers. Power for the CCD electronics and Red LED is provided by the Dolby processor eliminating the need for 110 or 220 Volt power to the reader.

It attaches directly to Christie, Century, Simplex, Ballantyne and Cinemeccanica projectors. Installation is very quick and easy, typically 30 minutes or less. The LED module is changeable with only a screwdriver although our experience with the RSTR analog readers indicate the LEDs will last at least 5 years before a change is needed. There is also a Tri-color Video Status light, Green, Red or Yellow to indicate adequate, low or high video level to ease service requirements.

We are proud to announce that effective June 1, 2002 we passed all Dolby performance tests and are entitled to display the Dolby Digital logo on our reader.
